What Is YouTube TV

YouTube TV is a live TV streaming service that offers nearly all your favorite pay-TV networks. Subscribers will have access to channels like AMC, USA, Bravo, and much more. All you will need is stand-alone home internet service, and you can watch TV over your internet connection.

Furthermore, subscribers will have major broadcast networks (ABC, FOX, NBC, CBS, and CW) live through the service. While all these local networks are available, a few locations may offer certain networks “on-demand only.”

In addition to broadcasting numerous cable TV networks, YouTube TV includes a Personal Cloud DVR and YouTube Red original series. All this costs subscribers $64.99 a month. A single subscription can be used by six Google accounts, but will only provide three simultaneous streams. This comes with the benefit of hiding your viewing habits from others that share your subscription.

What Channels are on YouTube TV

As previously stated, the service will provide live access to ABC, NBC, FOX, and CBS. The CW will also come with the service. You can see all the channels available in your area by Checking Your Zip-code Here.

Local Channels on Youtube TV

In the U.S, television markets are divided into 210 distinct regions called “designated marketing areas” or “DMA.” Those DMAs cross state lines. The table below shows those DMAs broken out sorted by state. Each row indicates whether you will have a local FOX, CBS, NBC, or ABC through YouTube TV if you live in that DMA.

As you can see, YouTube TV has excellent local channel coverage. They provide the local channels for the 4 major broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, FOX, and NBC) in 205 of 210 DMAs. While we do our best to keep the table of local broadcast network affiliates available on YouTube TV, we recommend checking YouTube TV’s website to guarantee the availability of local channels in your area
